Another view of Paul’s Electric Sportsrider, a tiny, 3-wheeled electric car from about 1960. This was as low as I could go without showing the centered front wheel. 87-seconds, lots of mixed lighting.

Lockheed P-2 Neptune engine scoop, lit with the Protomachine flashlight.

Close up of the damp and shady back end of yesterday’s trailer.  20-seconds in deep shade, warm white flashlight.
